Pathologies of the respiratory system in children occupy first place, both in terms of overall morbidity and mortality. Research shows that among the etiological factors of pneumonia, various bacterial and viral agents have been identified, the significance of which is not fully understood, but these cases are characterized by mixed results, lack of complete data and insufficient coverage in the literature.
Severe pneumonia is pneumonia characterized by severe respiratory failure (RF) and/or signs of sepsis and multiple organ dysfunction. Today, the problem of severe pneumonia is relevant, due to the high mortality of the disease, the presence of a wide range of poly- and multi-resistant strains of microorganisms
Thus, at present, the study of severe pneumonia in children has not been sufficiently studied, and the issue of using modern methods of preventing infection remains insufficiently addressed. In this regard, issues related to establishing the degree of influence of modifiable and non-modifiable factors on the development and course of severe pneumonia in children require further study; it is necessary to search for new methods for predicting the course and outcome, develop and implement new methods of treatment and prevention of the disease, which determined the relevance of our research.
